Northwestern Connecticut Community College offers a variety of programs which are easily transferable to Connecticut State Universities, Charter Oak, UCONN, and other nursing programs. Select your goal from the options below to learn more.

The Transfer and Articulation Program (TAP) [ Transfer Navigator at http://www.ct.edu/transfer ] is a new program for ensuring Connecticut community college students complete degree programs that transfer to Connecticut State Universities and Charter Oak State College without either losing or generating excess credit. Students in the TAP will complete the first 60-63 credits at a community college and the final 60-63 credits at a CSU. Earning a transfer associate degree will grant its recipients junior status at each of the Connecticut State Universities and at Charter Oak State College.

Successful completion of such a transfer associate degree will offer the student guaranteed admission and junior status to the receiving university or Charter Oak State College without ‘course by course’ transfer. Admission to particular degree programs may have additional GPA or other requirements. These requirements will be clearly spelled out in each major by major articulation.

Please make an appointment with Transfer Advisor Rick Boger-Hawkins atRBoger-Hawkins@nwcc.edu or (860) 738-6307, to learn more about specific degree requirements.

CSCU Dual Admission Program (DAP)

For students who have completed no more that 15 credits in a CT community college and wish to transfer to a CT state university, this program is for you.

It has never been easier to start your higher education at one of Connecticut’s 12 community colleges and finish at Central, Eastern, Southern or Western Connecticut State University. The Dual Admission program makes it easy to outline your path to success, and take advantage of exceptional program benefits, including:

Guaranteed Admission
Students are guaranteed admission to the selected CSU institution upon completion of their associate degree with a minimum 2.0 GPA. Specific academic and professional programs may have additional admission requirements.

Coordinated Academic Advising
While completing the associate degree, students receive personalized advising from both community college and university advisors to ensure appropriate coursework is completed and that all credits taken apply toward their bachelor’s.

Smooth Transition
Students enjoy a smooth transition because they take classes that will transfer, have met regularly with university staff, have become familiar with academic policies, and know which upper-level classes they need at the university.
